Thai bureaucrats get order to exerciseBANGKOK -- We have seen it time and time again — powerful political or business figures in tracksuits, leading workout campaigns, be it jogging or aerobics, only for the activities to end up as an exercise in futility. His "order" that Thai bureaucrats must exercise every Wednesday afternoon may be implemented, but will it really yield fruit? Prayut's initiative followed a disheartening global health report about Thai kids. Of the 38 countries assessed in a newly launched "Active Healthy Kids Report Card" Thai children got a D minus score while those in Zimbabwe scored a C+. Prayut was quoted as saying that he would join the Wednesday exercise whenever he could find free time.
